You're mad, I'm insane
Playing the déjà asked game
You pretend it's new
Dodging the truth word for word
I can't tell until it's heard...

Narrative Which Is Imperative

This has become  a renown narrative;
In each sermon it became imperative;
Word for word,
Often have heard;
To love and live must give, give, give.

Trump Did Declare An Edict 

We had heard Trump did declare an edict;
While reading word for word would depict,
Must confess,
A mass mess;
Each lie exposing the other will contradict.

eyeful afterthought
all wasted up
catch a glimpse of the bird's eye view
power of speech grant an audience
hidden message
moments of panic
in person short sighted
tongue-tied word for word
humanity is thus lost...

A record of a secret document
Embedded in my memory
Threatening to open
My feelings to the world
And I will keep it clandestine
Waiting for you to furiously
Copy down, word for word
The essence of my emotions...

WORDS TELL, FEELING


Word for word
Is truth heard?
Can you see
Feel that frees?

Rhyme seeds sound
That now grounds
Quest of heart
Starts verse art

Dare do as you say
Upon this highway
Joy and sorrow play
Where plot and cast sway

As fond feelings merge
Word for word flings urge
In a deeper purge
As odd echoes surge

I do care

who they're screwin' in public


~~~~~~~~

this poem is word for word plagiarized.  If you know who I plagiarized, you probably have a good feel for freaky people and the aliveness of the streets.  If you don't, you can ask me or whatever....

Hand over heart, when our National Athem starts,
taught from a child, and we sang every part.
Word for word as the flag was raised,
remembering the sacrifice our soldiers have made.
Patriotic to the core, our Red, White, and Blue,
Americans be proud, stand , and salute....

Word for word
I hold my tongue
What I’ve been
Trying to say
Has gotten stuck
Underneath my 
Rib cage
My heart 
Pounding on it
Tapping on it
As my blood 
Rushes around 
It 
I’m afraid if
I let this out
My body
Will retaliate
Word for word
I’ll just write it
Down...

Tale to tale
Zest frames sale


Word for word
Joy is heard


Line by line
Love grooms fine


Drop by drop
Start not stop


Rhyme by rhyme
Sounds sculpts chimes


Tear by tear
Faith moves fear


Thought by thought
Plot fills lot


Face to face
Know fine grace

SILHOUETTE (18/23) — PACE


Word for word
Lines hoard meaning;
Not much said

~~~~~

Here I wait
For joy to bait
My journey fate
As glimpse tells more
Than words galore

Here I write
As my soul cites
Fond zest in bites
Where truth gives light
To do what’s right

Sometimes 
I think 
they talk to themselves 
through us
not exactly word-for-word 
though the sense of it 
then I (re)member
they are we, or was, us, at sometime

then we remember again 
they don't make plain sense 
playing wyrd-for-wyrd in-stead
sew halves, two find
grain-by-grain 
frisson of recognition
in (an)other
Sometimes...

Thought springs
Raw fling


Feel swirls
Rich twirls


Mind thinks
Stray links


Heart knows
Sure glow


Soul speaks
Fond peaks


Dig deep
Zest feeds


Know well
Zeal dwells


Know Word
For Word


Listen:
Discern


Just be
Gladly


Now walk
Your talk


Grace sums
Outcome

Dare see
Wisely


Form each
True reach


Set norm
Bare form


Joy knows
Grand show


Peace stays
Bliss pays


Love all
Heed call


Know now
Endow


Faith calms
Sure balm


Hope sings
Time brings


Good writes
Verse cites


Each day
Bring play


Purge fear
Be here


Be clear
Now here

The Jameson distillery 
had its first official tour in 1780
when pirates broke in and drank all the whiskey.

Can I really call the above work my own?
It's almost word for word for an ad that I saw,
but I don't think the ad was intended to be a poem.

Ad - My distillery had its first official tour in 1780 when pirates broke in and drank all my

Heart to hand
Hand to pen
Pen to paper
Start again

Thoughts unwind
Secrets unfold
Words blossom into
Stories told.

A gentle seed
Sprouting small
Branches lead
To trees so tall.

Word for word
Scrawling lines
Sentences that
Creep through time.

Of past, of present,
Or those of
Mysteries
'Bout what's to come.

Pointless poems
To stricter measure
Writing is
Man's greatest treasure....

Words like wild cards
Bubbly bright bard


Words in fresh scripts
Ideas now rip


Jumpy jerks bounce
Watch how words pounce


Craft a fat chance
Drill that dream dance


Word for word frame
Niche no sense name


Fruits of deep thought
Poke a sweet spot


Lift laughter loud
Poise priming proud


Choice clusters poise
Love sizzles voice

Late evening stupor
Seize a bitter flavour


Write my odd verse awake
Cite words for goodness sake


Sleepy eyes glimpse new lines
Loiter with teary brine


Espresso cuppa reach
Coffee ideas now teach


How can feeling fine grow
Feelings I ought to know?


Caffeine fix fronts fancy
Picky patchy squarely


Dream within a bad dream
Word for word flickers stream

A poet word for word
this constant distraction...

lifes beautiful enhancement...

the emotional live or die
by the sword...

a poet for this word
serious...morbid...love
and laughter...

affliction...the ever mood
the dimensions...spectrums
these emotions centred from
above...

like exploding reproductive
organs...

all truths underlined...the deliverer
of a message...mood filtration
with true feeling without lies......

TALK AMONGST STONES

if we hadn’t had
that extra drink
at lunchtime
our headspace chefs
would only scream
twice:
(f) off my menu
go talk of your 
stones

so we do…

build temples
ancient tabloids 
of
triple distilled
distracted 
abstract  
metaphors
as is prone
word for word
talk amongst

Browse and take a look
Word clusters can hook


Verse scripts feel mellow
Meaning now swallows


Sculpt such clever finds
Reason charms clear mind


Word for word now dash
Conflict cradles clash


Ideas muzzle time
Vague affairs shade rhymes


Cash and carry stuff
Outcome funds enough


Listen as heart floods
Pulse of anxious blood


Explore odd sightings
Lines now wandering
